In June 2025 we welcomed Neutral Chaos and 15 actors to the Combat Certification Intensive, certifying in up to four weapons as well as re-certification for more experienced actor-combatants. Following those 10 days, Neutral Chaos partnered with SAG/AFTRA stunt artist Scott Hoffman for a two-day Film Fighting Intensive, with every actor leaving with a short film to add to their reel. For more information on Neutral Chaos, please visit their website HERE.
We were honored to host the following playwrights, along with collaborative teams, for development of their new plays:
- MayaRose (LeahJoy Pearson)
- Susan Cinoman
- Paden Fallis
- Peter Macklin
- Eric McConnell
- Megan Monaghan Riva
- Samuel Munoz
- Lydia Riess
- Adam Szymkowicz
- Nicole Tongue
- Joz Vammer
- Sarah Maraniss Vander Schaaff
We offered three Single Sessions — short workshops designed to welcome all learners 18+ to experience a creative modality. If you are interested in offering something at CTX 2026, please reach out.
